August 26, 2026Young Lions to Host Penistone Church in FA Youth Cup
Guiseley AFC’s academy team, known as the Young Lions, will begin a busy period of cup competitions next month with an FA Youth Cup preliminary round match. The fixture is scheduled for Thursday 3rd September, with a 7pm kick-off at Nethermoor.
The Young Lions earned their place in this round following a 3-0 victory over Emley in the previous stage. They will face Penistone Church, a club from South Yorkshire, in what promises to be a competitive encounter.
Tickets for the match will be available at the turnstiles on the night, with prices set at £3 for adults, £2 for concessions and under-18s, and £1 for under-11s. Payment can be made by cash or card.
Potential for Multiple Cup Matches Across September
If the Young Lions progress beyond Penistone Church, they could be involved in further rounds of the FA Youth Cup during September. Meanwhile, the first team also faces a packed schedule in various cup competitions throughout the month, including:
- 5th September: First team travel to Stockton Town
- 19th September: Second round qualifying of the Emirates FA Cup
- 26th September: Entry into the Isuzu FA Trophy at the third round qualifying stage
These fixtures indicate a demanding calendar for Guiseley AFC, with the club potentially competing in up to six cup ties during September across different competitions and age groups.
Upcoming League Fixture
In addition to cup matches, Guiseley’s first team will host Lancaster City in a Pitching In Northern Premier League Premier Division match on Friday 28th August, with kick-off scheduled for 7:45pm.
